Hey,
Been riding for awhile now and I have aspirations to compete next year I'm looking for bike capible of time trial and long distance cycling, I'm willing to spend around E1000 and E2000, I was on the cycle super store website and saw a nice looking bike (Trek - 1400D '06 model priced E1500) but honestly I dont know much about bikes.

If anyone has a suggestion on other bikes and other shops please do let me know.

Thanks.

You're not faced with an easy choice. There are dozens of great bikes in that price range, many of which would be ideal for you. You should take your time and check out various shops. Drop into Cycleogical, Cycleways and the Superstore to see what's on display and get an idea of what's available.

Hi Morgan

You may be interested to know that www.thebikeshop.ie is also having a few specials. I've been to a lot of bike shops and the range here is VERY big compared to a lot fo them.

I may be biased because it's my local but it can't hurt to look...:)

Do they only stock Giant racers? Not much of a choice then is it? But as you said no harm in having a look if you're around that part of the country

Hi

No...they stock Giant, Specialized, Ridley, Orbea, Colnago etc etc ect


As far as I know the specials (theirs road bike ones too) are to give people an idea and they can customize them to fit.

Don't know too much about road bikes but there is what appears to be decent road bike over on adverts. Think he's looking for 750.
